GameTopius.com Reviews TrackMania DS

TrackMania is hardly a new IP. Having originally debuted for the PC in the UK and France during the fall of 2003, TrackMania and its eight sequels and variations have all had some common elements that set them apart from other racing titles. The "pitch" for the game is simple and hits all the right nostalgic chords: a race against the clock on fantastic stunt tracks using different styles of vehicles making for varied play but familiar action. While you can race against players (or computer "ghosts"), there is no collision between vehicles: this is a pure track vs driver experience. Most distinctively, TrackMania offers players the chance to build and share courses of their own.
